Cleaning the interior....
 
Ok I just received my bottles of Leverage vinyl cleaner and got started on the interior. Seems to be working great on most of the side panels but the seats are a different story. The previous owner left most of the seats out in the weather for a while and eventually put all the seats except the driver seat in storage so the driver seat is showing the most grim and dirty water spots on it. Anyone have any suggestions or tips/tricks of the trade to get the tough deep dirt and grim out?

Grocery stores, Walmart, etc. Mr. Clean product.

The Eraser is the bomb. Follow up with a conditioner though.

I used simple green to get the vast majority of the interior clean, then follow up with the magic eraser. The simple green works great for grease and grime, and did not hurt the vinyl.

Clorox Cleanup is great for deep cleaning white vinyl. It combined with a Magic Eraser should get rid of most anything. Just make sure to rinse it very well and only use when absolutely needed. Bleach is hard on vinyl and stiching.

use white wall tire cleaner(sparingly) on your interior. scrub it in and wipe with a wet cloth. after it dries use 303 protectant on it and it will look like new.

Try this product. But, call Dennis first at BioKleen to learn how to properly use the product. Your going to be surprised on what you will learn on how to properly clean vinyl.

for the really tough stuff, There is a spray called LA AWESOME, We have it at the dollar store and some other places. Very cheap and use it with the Magic Eraser only(no water) and it cleans white GREAT!!!! BUT, Definately use, 303 protectant afterward. Good Luck
